GoDaddy originally filed its S-1 on June 9, with all intentions of pricing in 2014. But word is that the company now has pushed back its listing plans until sometime in early 2015. Factors cited include the Alibaba IPO delay (GoDaddy wanted that massive offering out of the way) and the recent public market troubles of competitor Web.com (Nasdaq: WWWW), which saw its share price fall from $36.72 on March 3 to just $15.40 on Nov. 3.

• Two cents: Yes, an Uber executive’s apparent plan to dig up dirt on journalists’ private lives is appalling. No, it won’t harm Uber’s business in any tangible way.

• Tick-tock: Just a reminder that it has been 31 months since the JOBS Act was signed into law, and more than one year since the SEC (belatedly) proposed crowdfunding rules. Yet we still don’t have finalized rules, despite SEC chair Mary Jo White promising during her early 2013 confirmation hearings that finishing up the SEC’s JOBS Act responsibilities would be a priority.

• Moving on: Hadn’t noticed this earlier, but it seems that Richard Griffin has stepped down as a partner with Pritzker Group Private Capital, in order to launch a North Carolina-based private equity firm (Aiglon Capital Management) to focus on lower middle-market manufacturing, distribution and services companies.

• Today’s largest VC deal is for Shift, a mobile app for buying and selling used cars (currently in beta testing in the SF and LA markets). The special sauce here is what Shift calls “car enthusiasts” — independent contractors who will borrow cars from sellers in order to help prospective buyers take test drives (for purposes of both convenience and safety).

I spoke last night with company CEO George Arison, and asked if his company is running counter to a perceived trend of reduced auto ownership among the young, West Coast urbanites who would normally be his first adopters. His reply: “We haven’t seen any data to support that. Europe is a great place to look at what happens when people have much better ground transportation beyond their own car, and you still see people have one car per family. Maybe not two cars, but that’s fine for us.”

• Minor mystery solved: Last week, online crafting enthusiast community Craftsy announced that it had raised $50 million in Series D funding. Backers included Stripes Group, Foundry Group, Tiger Global, Adams St. Partners, Access Venture Partners and Silicon Valley Bank. But a couple eagle-eyed readers looked up the associated Form D, and noticed that Michael Zeisser – Alibaba’s head of U.S. investments – is now listed as a board member.

So is Alibaba an investor? No, according to a source close to the company. Seems Zeisser quietly joined the Craftsy board as an independent director just before joining Alibaba last year from Liberty Media. So that’s that.
